Andrew Paul Wolverton was born May 15, 1908 on a farm south of Bedford, Taylor County, Iowa. He was the son of Thomas Howard Wolverton and Anna Mable Spencer Wolverton. Paul grew up on the family farm attending Ross Country School. This was a four-generation homestead farm where he lived and farmed with his family until he was united in marriage to Doris “Dorie” Tracy at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa in June of 1929. After their marriage, Paul and Dorie moved to the south place where they farmed until 1947. To this union one daughter was born. Later they moved back to the home place.
Farming was Paul’s life; he truly loved the outdoors. He enjoyed tilling the ground each year and looked forward to the fall harvest. Paul and Dorie moved to Bedford when they retired from farming in 1981. Paul’s retirement days were filled with a simple routine, which he enjoyed greatly. Most days consisted of coffee and pool in the morning; home for dinner, then a short nap; later, a road trip to do some crop inspecting, more coffee, a stop at the grocery store, then home for supper. After which he looked forward to doing it all over again the next day. Paul enjoyed being around people and was always a happy man, willing to help others in need. He just seemed to like everyone and was always supportive of the family and their activities. However, spending time with his family was very important to Paul. He especially enjoyed their family dinners. Paul and Dorie enjoyed many activities such as bowling, dancing and dining out. He was a member of the United Methodist Church in Bedford.
Paul is survived by his wife, Dorie; a daughter, Dianne Baker and husband, Bud, all of Bedford; two grandchildren, Deb Vawter and husband Don of Kingman, Arizona; and Paul Baker and wife, Wanda of Bedford; and three great grandchildren, Bradley Ewart, Clinton Henry and Wyatt Baker.

DORIS WOLVERTON
Funeral services for Doris Wolverton, age 94, of Bedford, who died Sunday, September 8, 2002, were held Wednesday, September 11, 2002 at 10:30 a.m. at the Ritchie Funeral Home with Reverend Jenny Corley officiating. Interment was held in the Fairview Cemetery in Bedford. Memorials can be directed to the Fairview Cemetery Road Fund. Arrangements were entrusted to the Ritchie Funeral Home of Bedford.
Doris Wentworth Tracy Wolverton was born August 24, 1908 in Bedford, Iowa. She was the daughter of John and Iva Wentworth Tracy. Doris grew up in Bedford attending the Bedford Community School. The class of 1927 was the first class to graduate in the high school auditorium. The following year she attended Iowa State a short time; she returned home due to her mother's illness. On April 1, 1928 Doris was engaged to Paul Wolverton and they were married at the Little Brown Church in Nashua, Iowa, on June 25, 1928. To this union one daughter, Dianne, was born.
Paul and Doris made their first home south of Bedford near the Missouri line. Doris was a "city girl" accustomed to the luxuries of town, which included running water and electricity. Moving to a farmhouse with no modern conveniences created quite a change in lifestyle for Doris! This included adopting a pet pig named "Piggy" who followed her like a shadow. At the pig's weight of 300 pounds, Doris sold him for $9.00. Doris enjoyed gardening, painting and decorating her house. Throughout the years they enjoyed going to dances, bowling, eating out with their friends on Saturday nights and being with their family. In 1981 Paul and Doris retired from farming and moved into a new home in the Bedford community where Doris spent the next twenty-one years enjoying her new home, friends and family. She was a 50-year member of the Order of Eastern Star and long time member of the United Methodist Church.
Left to cherish Doris' memory are her daughter, Dianne Baker and husband, Hank of Bedford; two grandchildren, Deb Vawter and husband, Don of Kingman, Arizona; Paul Baker and wife, Wanda of Bedford; three great grandsons, Bradley Ewart, Clint Henry and Wyatt Baker.
Preceding Doris in death are her parents John and Iva and her husband, Paul in 2001.
